 - Amsterdam :  Elsevier,  April 2008 
<br/><br/> This paper contributes to the scholarship of teaching and learning project management (PM). It reflects on the experience with and presents early findings from three different runs of a leadership course focusing on project management learning taught at the University of New Brunswick’s Renaissance College (RC) in 2005 and 2006. First, the larger context will be introduced. Second, the approach of outcome-based learning will be presented particularly within the context of RC’s undergraduate leadership degree program. Third, it will be discussed how outcome-based learning can improve educational effectiveness and accountability in PM education. Fourth, the experience within the first three runs of the courses will be reviewed. Finally, some initial conclusions will be drawn and recommendations will be made for further improvement of PM education
